However disastrous may be the effects
Of the break In the coffee market, very
little sympathy will be extended to those
whose losses are the direct results of a
willful and premeditated interference with
the natural laws Of trade. Coffee, as an
article Of universal consumption, cannot
be "cornered' without i%nflicting some
loss upon almost every family In the land
To advance the price even three fold, as
has been done within a recent period,
may not seriously affect any one family,
but considered in the aggregate the
amount flched from the pockets of the
people by the spectators was enormous.
Now the reaction has set in, and Just how
far the pendulum may swing in the other
direction cannot be safely determined
ever by the wisest.
That millions have been made by the
advance" must be accepted as true. just
how many millions will be lost by the de-
cline no one can tell. but the indications
now are that hundreds Of dealers will be
badly crippled, while not O few may have
TO 60 10 the wall. When the sale of five
hundred bags represents a loss Of nearly
$l.400. there Is danger ahead for these
who have large stocks on hand. A year
ago 1000 bags Of coffee could be bought
for . 1000. while a few days ago a similar
quantity commanded 500, 900 In tho Bal.
timore market. 1t was hardly possible
that such prices could be lcng maintained,
even with the definite knowledge of q
short supply.
Corners in coffee have not been Of fire..
| quent occurrence, but like every othel
commodity that product Is subject tc
speculative manipulation. There was
such o speculation ten or twelve year,
ago, and the result was the financial ruiz
OF a good many coffee dealers. The prin
cipal operator was a New Yorker, VIII,

THE Democratic cue is now TO insis-
that the proposition to surrender the bat
tle.flags originated solely with General
Drum and to claim that the Republicans
seized upon 1t and worked 1t up for polit-
ical effect, That 1t was q blunder, and a
colossal one, is too evident for even the
Democrats to deny, but they hope. by
following the above programme. to get
rid at least Of some of the odium attached
to the event. They will fail oftheir pur-
pose however. The protest was too spon-
taneous and too unanimous to have been
the result of any carefully laid scheme.
It came from the ex-soldiers and the PEG
pie and not from the politicians. There
was nothing manufactured about 1t. If
1t is a convincing proof of the tendencies
of the present Administration, that is the
fault Of Mr., Cleveland and his advisers.
And the Democrats are lamentably mis-
taken If they imagine that they can null
lily the effect of the battle-fla surrender
order by ascribing the whirlwind of
wrath it raised to political manuvring.

A POINTER.
The confeder..es Centre, the Democratic

The confedera.es Control, the Democratic
Party.
Senator John Sherman Is being abused
beyond measuse by the Democratic press
because he had the courage or audacity
to declare that the Democratic party was
controlled by Confederate ideas. AS a
simple proposition the statement is either
true or false, and instead of showering
imprecations on the head Of the distin,
guished Senator some of these Democratic
organs should undertake the task Of show.
Ing wherein he has fallen short Of the
truth.
Before they begin, however. it might
be well to apprise them that Senator Sher.
man is not entitled to a patent on his dis
covery. The Washington Republican
points out that no less a Democrat than
ex Senator Eaton. of Connecticut, made
even stronger declarations to the same eff.
feet on the floor Of the House In a speech
delivered as late as May, 1884. He read
from the Confederate Constitution defr.
Ing the powers Of Congress to pay and
collect taxes, duties. imposts and excuses.
and which declared; mo bounty shall be
granted from the treasury, nor shall any
duty or tax on importations from foreign
nations be laid to promote or foster any
branch Of industry" He followed this
by saying ut seems TO me some of our
friends are acting under that provision.
They seem to have forgotten that this Is
Washington, not Montgomery"
The Republican system of protec-
ton. said Senator Sherman, has brought
us to the second place among manufac.
turing nations, and is fast bringing us to
the first" 'The Confederate idea" said
Representative Eaton III effect, was to ut.
terly destroy the policy Of protection, and
1t seems TO me u Democratic friends are
acting under that idea" If Senator Sher.
man Is doing violence to the truth and
injuring the Democratic party by his
statements, how comes Il that Represent.
alive Eaton was not called to account
three years ago when he made the same
discovery with respect TO some Of these
Confederate ideas that Senator Sherman
Is now condemned and abused for max.
ingg tits the truth coming from a man
who has the courage TO proclaim and the
ability TO defend 1t. that makes these
Confederate a~pologists howl. They will
continue to lampoon but will not attempt
to answer John Sherman.

tariff a tariff swindle and has been writ
ing letters to the New York Times on

has published a letter from an importer
commencing his efforts. Moore is SO
tickled with the letter that he publishes
1t. This letter says: There are no
greater apes In the world than the Amer.
lean farmers. They should be orna
mented with long ears. Gods bOunties
alone can save them" Such are the
compliments received by honest agricul
turists from those who would induce

better call down Mr.. Moore andhis admir-.
ers. Men who have no more respect for
American intelligence than Is indicated
in such publications can never become
leaders In American thought.
